Today hasn’t been as productive as yesterday but I have gotten a few things done. I had physical therapy in Emporia today. The kid that worked with me is the son of someone I went to high school with. He gave me a few additional exercises to do and encouraged me to continue doing the ones the lady in Stillwater had given me to do. My foot is a bit sore this afternoon from the work out he gave me.
He doesn’t think I need eight visits so he only scheduled me for one time next week and that may be the last visit. I’m always grateful when a company doesn’t take advantage of a person and has them come less than ordered.
By the time I go back next Wednesday he wants me to have walked a mile without the boot without stopping. I am going to OK tomorrow and will have sidewalks to walk on so no problem doing that. Gravel still is a bit of a challenge for me but it is getting easier to walk on.
I put both shoes on this afternoon. The surgery foot feels a bit tight in the shoe but it is wearable. Feels good to have both shoes on again.
I ran a few errands while I was in town after my therapy was done. I am trying to switch my cell phone to my own plan and get it off Kathy’s plan. Found out she has to give them verbal permission to do so. Good thing she is coming a week from tomorrow so we can go in and get that taken care of. Not sure why doing a simple thing like that is so complicated.
I had gotten an advertisement from Pella Windows some time ago. I had saved it in case the local people couldn’t fix the window that is broken. I have called the local people four times and they can’t seem to get a window ordered for me. The Pella people are doing some research but they seem to have the original order that was placed when this house was built. They are to call me back in a day or two. It will be nice to get yet another thing crossed off my to do list.
The electrician called and is coming out tomorrow morning to see if he can figure out why the light over the sink blinks on and off whenever the dishwasher pulls water. I had called them several months ago and for some reason they had cancelled my request. Yet one more thing that may get fixed and off my list. Trusting it will be a simple fix that they can take care of tomorrow.
I seem to have lots of pending things going on right now. It will be good to cross those things off as the loose ends get tied up and completed.
Got the master bathroom detailed cleaned today. One room down and I don’t want to count how many more rooms to go. At least that fall cleaning project is officially started. I may get to the other bathroom upstairs today and get two rooms crossed off the list. I still need to get outside and mow the little fenced in yard. I didn’t get that done yesterday.
It rained for about two minutes this afternoon. It has cooled down a bit but the cold front hasn’t fully gotten here yet. I will appreciate some cooler more fall like days.
Tomorrow I am going to OK for the weekend. I am coming home Monday afternoon. My house sitter will be back out tomorrow for me. I so appreciate her taking good care of the critters while I am gone. It will be good to be with Jim again for a few days.
Grateful to have two matching shoes on my feet again, grateful I can start walking outside without the boot, and grateful I get to see Jim tomorrow afternoon.
